Getting Your Needs Met

[PocketDove]

As a little, I have learned creative ways of letting a caregiver know I need something. I am curious about other communication styles from both sides.

As a little, how have you communicated to your partner that you have a need (physical or emotional) that has to be met?

As a caregiver, what ways have you had your little fulfill a need of yours? Better put, how have you engaged with your partner to ensure they feel safe and small, while also feeling validated yourself?

My Daddy and I have discussions about all the various aspects of our relationship including DDlg. We prefer to have these discussions as adult to adult so that I'm not hinting and He isn't guessing. We've found for us it's more effective to talk about physical and emotional needs outside of when I'm little and He's in Daddy space so we aren't doing it within the framework of a dynamic where there's a significant power exchange actively in play between He and I.

Metatalks have been an essential part of our relationship for identifying anything to be worked on together so when we are in Daddy/littlespace we've already addressed any areas or needs that may require attention.

Great advice. Thanks for sharing
